Instructions

In a large bowl, mix ground beef (or turkey), breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined. Shape into small meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and brown the meatballs for about 5-7 minutes.
Remove meatballs and sauté onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in the same pot for about 5 minutes.
Pour in broth and return meatballs to the pot along with pasta; cook until everything is tender (about 15 minutes).
Stir in heavy cream and chopped greens; season with basil and oregano. Simmer for a few more minutes until greens wilt.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan if desired.
